From my understanding, cryptocurrency is a way for people to exchange money directly with each other without needing a bank or any central authority. Cryptocurrency was made to be used as money, for buying, selling, sending, and receiving money, but over time, it has become more of an investment. While some people just use it in everyday life, others use it to try and grow their money.

Many people remain wary of the potential security risks associated with storing and using cryptocurrencies, as high-profile hacks and scams have garnered attention over the years. Advocates have argued that cryptocurrency could democratize finance, giving individuals more control over their money and providing opportunities for those who might be excluded from traditional banking systems. The underlying potential of blockchain has opened up numerous possibilities beyond currency, such as healthcare, supply management, and even voting systems
